Supposedly, until you criticize the idea of taking their money and giving it to everyone who claims to need it more than them.

Arguments like these are all to often made out of convenience, but should be made in good faith and on principle. Do you truly believe in their right to private property?
If you ever change it a very restrictive rate-limit could work too. It might be annoying to maintain or combine with the existing credit system tho.

On the other hand, people creating multiple accounts to test things out is a very nice indicator of interest.

The point of the brownie isn't "people who are into photography". It's for every-person. Those who aren't into photography, and just want to have pictures to remember things.

There are two points here. Who initiated the trend, and what the trend is now.

If initiate the trend is to be discussed, that is, who started the social change, Blackberry was a behemoth in the smart phone market, before the iphone ever even existed. And they had cameras, messaging apps, their own ecosystem, and people shared photos with one another lavishly and often.

If one is to discuss now, then Android phones are far more numerous than Apple devices, and frankly, more used by people just needing a cheap phone. And the brownie was cheap, quick and easy to use, and even very cheap Android phones today have "good enough" cameras.

Just like the Brownie. "Good enough".

Not sure why the author ties this to iphones. I can only assume it is like Kleenex.
Don't modern screen-readers work based on rendered content? So if your JS is outputting ARIA tagged DOM, it will be fine.
whilst "free" in principle, there is obvious cost/risk in adopting features like those (CTE demat and llvm), if nothing else, in even trying them out.

testing the llvm-based optimiser (in postgres 11) showed little benefit, and in a few circumstances slowed things down. had i had more time to poke around, i'd have probably got it to a place where it represented an improvement, but, up until i left that role, it was a feature that remained switched off - postgres doesn't generally introduce features that represents "breaks" in code.

having not had _that_ much experience with MS-SQL, i'd still recommend the switch. looking through the things in postgres that i take for granted vs. what's in MS-SQL, i don't think i could cope with not having postgres :)
Ok, but lets not forget how a few actors can spoil a healthy community. Remember Kuro5hin? Very healthy and thriving community destroyed by a handful of stupid trolls.

Have been following one of the decentralized web approaches, don't remember, netsomething dot net, runs in the browser, very nice interface. Started promising until it got swamped with right wing lunatics doing nothing but trolling and spewing antisemitic stuff all over the place. I am not even offended, it is just a waste of my time to wade thru this trash to find some meaningful conversation.

Any unmoderated community is going to attract these lunatics.

The only places where I find meaningful conversation are topic centered Forums.
Anything sans topic turns into a burning dumpster when unmoderated. This is humanity. The lunies get their voices amplified and the sane fall silent.
They aren't really directly comparable like you imply. A memristor is basically a resistor that changes resistance when you run current through it. An FPGA is a clever layout of many thousands of logic gates that can be programmed to form arbitrarily complex digital logic circuits. It's like comparing apples to skyscrapers because they're both associated with New York.

Presumably, a memristor based neural network would have the advantage over an FPGA of requiring significantly less silicon area to achieve the same function. I imagine an FPGA based neural network would approximate analog signals digitally, perhaps using floating point "half's" or something. Memristors would directly operate on analog signals, encoding information as amplitudes or pulses of currents and voltages.

Notably, FPGAs and GPUs can't really be directly compared to each other in terms of power consumption unless you specify specific use cases. You can't build the equivalent of a mainstream GPU out of FPGAs without severely limiting the clock speed (because of how physically large it would be), and if you did anyway, it would use many orders of magnitude more power to function. So, a GPU is way more power efficient than an FPGA for rendering graphics. There are certainly problems that a GPU isn't good at solving, and so there's a good chance that an FPGA solution would be more power efficient.
Here ya go. Hell you can get 250 mile range.

It was more a comment on the general "Oh, big tech banned you?" well just create your own payment network, dns service, cdn, hosting, etc etc.

And to extend your analogy, it's like a whole nightclub being permanently closed because one of the 250,000 people in the club (admittedly a big club) said a bad word. It's just a new form of Tone Policing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone_policing)
> so the world can see that we aren't doing anything wrong here

The world will see whatever the media, in aggregate, report. They got lucky that the first reports were “Elon Musk tweets about this quirky thing happening”, but the media will soon find another angle to the story. The only thing selling right now is outrage, and since people can’t be quite as outraged about Trump anymore, anything to fill the void is welcomed. You don’t have to do anything outrageous for the outrage maching to get you; they’ll get you anyway for whatever you were alleged to have been associated with, somebody who agreed with something somebody else claimed was from you. Add to this that there’s huge financial pressure for this kind of thing to be put out of business, and they’re probably completely doomed.
Do you sell all your assets, like realty where you live in, personal possessions, car, tickets to vacation you happen to buy beforehand? Or declaring bancrupcy is really harmless and easy?

I am genuinely interested.
> Step 1. Show 10+ years of experience

An anecdotal example made up about talking at some conference with big words won't provide business value and isn't useful in day to day problem solving.

So again... 99% of programmers won't ever use the history of DARPA and the birth of the internet to land a job.
I disagree. OO has been in use for decades, and I don't think the industry is experiencing benefits anywhere near its costs.
Does Vivitrol Cure Addiction?
Vivitrol is used to treat opioid dependence. It cannot cure addiction but works by binding to opioid receptors and blocks them from being activated by opioid use. In the early stages of getting sober, it can prevent an addict from getting high. It can only be useful when the addict has a free strong will to get sober.

> What is “not ok” is the fact that switching to a GPL based license forces projects depending on the code like CrateDB to use a fork since it kills the business model.

This is the most important statement, yet they don't explain why it kills their business model

Also, did I miss something in the SSPL wording? is the consensus really that SSPL equates to GPL? I can see the similarity to GPLv3 in the sense that you have to provide a lot of the environment on which you run the software,but the article just equates SSPL to GPL after the first paragraph, which is a pity imo.

> We would never have chosen Elasticsearch in the first place, had it been licensed under the GPL as some of our customers (and many large enterprises do by default) banned GPL licensed software from their application stacks for legal risks

You should feel fine using GPLv2 in your business, if your are really opensource company (if there is such a thing.) That's really an opinionated statement by someone who doesn't even have business, but please comment; why would they care if they're the ones making the FOSS plugins and will only see changes going back upstream.
It seems once a platform gets to a certain size, an entitlement to service regardless of whether it's against the terms of service grows.

"Retard" is considered a slur by some. It doesn't matter if others don't consider it to be. The one making the judgement is the service provider.

Same with Parlour complaining about being kicked off AWS when they violated their terms of service.
There's a copy of the letter AWS sent to them that's public [0]

"
Recently, we’ve seen a steady increase in this violent content on your website, all of which violates our terms. It’s clear that Parler does not have an effective process to comply with the AWS terms of service. {...} You remove some violent content when contacted by us or others, but not always with urgency. Your CEO recently stated publicly that he doesn’t “feel responsible for any of this, and neither should the platform.”"
"

It's just a desire to have freedom from consequences.

It's absolutely insane really. $25 is not cheap for something you need to live.

Sometimes I'm so happy to live in Ireland, I know we have our faults. But at least with some things, we seem to get it right.

Diabetics in Ireland have 0 cost associated with it. They can go to any pharmacy, and get anything related to Diabetes for free, and as much of it as they need.

This should be the case for any life long illness - or any illness for that matter, in any country; in my opinion. Healthcare should be free for all, it amazes me that this is not yet the case. I do know deep down that it will be eventually though.
Researchers might have more use for history... but day to day, in the field, programmers? not so much. I would think it's the difference between math researchers and accountants... You don't need to know history to balance a check book.
And shorting more stock than a total company even has is not controversial? Or using massive shorting to just keep on pushing a stock down? It feels a lot more controversial to me and yet, the hedge fund managers dont't really feel anything. Well apart from the fact that they got caught with their hands in the cookie jar and now they have to pay. But I wonder if their platforms are now being censored. Classic money is power, I'm firmly on the side of WSB here.
As mentioned by cgardens in reply to another question, you can read through John's (one of the founders of Airbyte) article on the future of ETL/ELT: https://airbyte.io/articles/data-engineering-thoughts/why-th...

> And truth be told, it seems like Emanuel - who seems to have said some pretty unpleasant things and is the primary target here - was roped in as a way to tarnish Lee's more recent, more relevant, more even-handed comments.

Lee never defines active as having to do with professional activity (at least not in what's quoted in the article), that is Emanuel's definition.

Oh, Citadel made money off of GME — but Melvin didn't. Melvin had to take investment in what I can only imagine were very unfavorable terms from Citadel because they were bleeding money so badly. Then they were fools and didn't close their short position immediately, and lost even more massive amounts of money. As a sidenote, I doubt Citadel's investment in Melvin is looking very good right now. (Since somehow Melvin seems to have not been bankrupted, maybe it will look better in a few years if Melvin recovers.)

I would also be fairly surprised if Citadel made, say, 1000% ROI on their total GME trades this week. Giant bull runs are fine for HFT, sure; everyone wins when stonks go up (except for shorts, who lose big time). But giant bull runs are generally better for buy-and-hold investors than for HFT, because the buy-and-hold investors weren't doing all the useless intermediate buying and selling that the HFTs were. If a stock goes up and to the right, the best (retrospective) move is to have invested all of your position early, not to have constantly invested a bit of it over time as it went up like HFTs do. Basically: GME's performance favored avid WSB investors who got in early, much more than it favored HFTs front-running Robinhood for pennies on every trade. To quote Matt Levine, "you don't need special evil HFT powers to see" GME going up, it was happening for weeks [1]. You didn't need HFT powers to see WSB posts about the squeeze, or about short interest being 130% of the float. If you were an avid WSB user, and you got in early, you really did take Melvin for a ride. Sure, Citadel did well too — but your returns would still probably blow theirs out of the water.

IMO, WSB won the biggest.

(I do worry about the retail traders who bought in late due to the hype; this rally doesn't seem sustainable.)

Even when presented with truth, they will not believe it. Said Nazi propaganda minister. It was true then, it’s true now.

With so much indoctrination by the alternative lueggenpresse, there is no quick fix.

1. Avoid talking about it

2. Pretend to agree and adjust their behavior. Think of them as psychiatric patients

3. Install a firewall. Put a script in the router that drops fake news sites

4. Be busy working or pretend to be busy. Deadlines, cant talk now. Everything will be solved eventually

Fake news is not going away and with the bastardization of media it’s not going to get better. Random schlo mo makes the news now and bots, no qualifications needed.

Lack of critical thinking skills combined with their alternative luegenpresse is a dangerous mix, probably why many states crack down on media.

In the west there’s often claims of “free press”, but why censor only wikileak and not fake news that caused storming of capital hill, riots etc?

Freedom cannot exist without oppression and the media is to free
Yep, this is for me very exciting. I like banwaves. They're digging their own graves, they'll go the way of Blockbuster soon, and the internet, public discourse, information availability and dare I say humanity will be better for it. I wish they'd do it faster.

No, it's like a bunch of teenagers came into your coffee shop, and before you could throw them out your coffee shop [in a mall] was permanently closed down by the mall owners.

//Been told I'm posting too fast again by the benevolent left wing moderators on HN so this is what I would have replied:

"From the comment on WSB that was a story on here before it got flagged off the front page:

"We blocked all bad words with a bot, which should be enough, but apparently if someone can say a bad word with weird unicode icelandic characters and someone can screenshot it you don't get to hang out with your friends anymore."

In other words, they told the kids not to swear and enforced it but someone came up with a new swearword that the cafe owner didn't recognise (it's hard to think of an analogy for using weird characters to say a bad word) and so the cafe got shut down. "

When is the FBI coming for her?

And where are the "it's a private company" censorship apologists now? The slope is slippery after all.
This. We teach coding, we start with logic, then move onto functions, then OOP, then patterns, then back to functional.
Then it's up to the student or the business to make a choice. Saying that you don't think OOP is as good as functional programming is like, part of the course. Some people like it, some don't, most mix and match. 90% don't care enough to write blog posts.

The blog post feels like a short essay I may get from a student. shrug .... there's lots of nice research on the order in which to teach the elements of programming, lots of people say start with OOP and then do functions, as that's the more natural progression. Personally I disagree and teach it the way I described. But both are valid.
I agree with this assessment. I try to use OOP in Python but I found it useful in a very small amount of situations. Mostly it is just annoying to have the same function defined with (self, ...) and without when not using OOP.

I don’t get your point at all.

Are you trying to argue some kind of Marxist position in order to show censorship can exist without government involvement.

I’m happy to have a discussion on why capital owners probably stole their wealth at some point. But you need to take me on the journey to how that’s related to censorship

Where does discord say it's for free discussion?

In two clicks I found their community guidelines on their website:

https://discord.com/guidelines

Second rule:

"Do not organize, promote, or coordinate servers around hate speech. It’s unacceptable to attack a person or a community based on attributes such as their race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, or disabilities."

Calling someone a "retard" or "autist" is considered by Discord to be mocking people with disabilities.

Also IRC exists and is still in use by many people.
Anyone can set up a server.
Thanks again. I suppose in that case I'll read one of the books based on the recommendations in this thread.

I often think that in the west we're actually closer to a post-scarcity society than people tend to imagine. Yes I know, that seems radical and heartless: what about the poor? Well, there sure is still a gap between rich and poor, but when you drill in to the material gap between rich and average, it starts to look less interesting. Bill Gates wears the same clothes as the average middle class person, he uses the same technology, eats the same food, he has basically the same access to mobility (private jets and yachts being a small increase in convenience but not an increase in access to locations which is what really matters), he probably takes one or two vacations a year like an ordinary person and so on.

The big differentiators between the life of a reasonably well off middle class person and a billionaire are the size/quality of their house, possibly the education of their children (but even that's a rather nuanced question given the prevalence of scholarships and state funding), and ownership of private vehicles. Maybe a bit of jewellery or art that nobody can really tell apart from much cheaper pieces unless they're for some reason an expert. And of course how they spend their time: investing and philanthropy, but let's say that's not in and of itself a big change in quality of life.

In most other respects you wouldn't know the difference and certainly the number of ways the lives of the average person differs from those at the very top have shrunk dramatically since, say, the middle ages or the 19th century.

In this worldview current trends are a predictable consequence of post-scarcity society: the rise of things like Instagram influencers, a huge class of aimless 'elites' who invariably claim to have expansive yet vague social goals, the frequency of purity spirals and so on. When your material needs are all met, your society has failed at elevating other cultures to your levels of wealth (thinking here of "bringing freedom" to Iraq/Afghanistan etc), and your society has nowhere remaining to explore physically, what is there left to do than fight over power and attention? To the extent the Culture novels explore these themes, then I guess they would interest me indeed.
This seems to misunderstand the purpose of moderation entirely.

Moderation serves many purposes, but only one of them is to save your delicate eyes from seeing things you don't want to see. Perhaps the more important one are things like: ensuring that your social media service doesn't have a bad reputation so that people other than disaffected white guys will actually want to use it.

If your site is overrun with porn, then sure, each user could just block those millions of posters with your open standard... but every new user still sees it, and decides "this service isn't built for me" and never comes back.

At the core of community moderation is community. If the community looks like it's full of people doing gray-illegal things, then normal people (and advertisers) will generally shy away... and lawsuits will not be far behind.

The most elegant explanation of shorting stocks.
A big difference is that Secure Scuttlebutt uses a blockchain (the “log”). An app keeps one's own entire log + the entire log of every contact within the “hops circle” (hops=1: friends, hops=2: friends + friends-of-friends, …).
As someone without any particular bias towards one or the other it was interesting to see a simple example broken down in both styles and discussed.

So: Thanks for the article. Appreciated.

Eh, I'm not sure there's clear moral responsibility when talking your own book.

However, he does come off as someone who doesn't understand what he's talking about:

* comparing WSB "research" with proper fundamental analysis

* daily position disclosing is unrealistic and unrelated to what's going on

* doubling down on the retail vs wall street narrative and talking about the mortgage crisis, when Melvin Capital is a buy-side institution, not a sell-side institution.

* generally painting WSB users as "curageous" for expressing their views in a public forums when a. everyone is using aliases and b. WSB is cery similar to one of those pump-and-dump penny stock IRC chats, just at a much larger scale.

He might appear to be confident and informed but, for someone who is familiar with the industry, he just comes off as being full of bullshit/having a hidden agenda.
